Joe Jackson Requests Allowance From Michael’s Estate
November 8th, 2009
Joe Jackson has filed documentation in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, requesting money from the estate of his late son Michael, saying he is “entitled to his own independent family allowance.”
According to the docs obtained by TMZ, Jackson claims the estate “earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven weeks following Michael Jackson’s death,” adding that it is “well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson.”
The Estate of the King of Pop has responded, with
attorney Howard Weitzman, saying, “The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate. It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson’s Petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael’s Estate.”
Jackson was not listed as a beneficiary in his son’s will following his death on June 25.

If Joe Jackson wants money, then he can ask Katherine Jackson for part of her $26,000 per month. That's how he always got money in the past, Katherine gave him money that Michael gave to her. I'm sure that is why Michael left Katherine such a large percentage of his estate, because he knew she would have the whole family begging from her just like they used to beg from him. But NO money should taken out of the estate. That money is for Michael's children. It needs to be left alone. If the Jackson family is allowed to keep begging for money from the estate, they are going to spend up Michael's children's money before the children even grow up. Joe Jackson can solve his own problems by getting a cheaper place, stop flying, don't stay in hotels, and don't go out to eat. COOK! He does't need to travel or stay in hotels, nobody wants to see him. He can just stay at home. If somebody wants to see him that bad, they can go to him. For Joe Jackson to get ANYTHING from Michael's estate, after Michael specifically omitted Joe from his will would be a trajedy and would put into question the point of even having a will at all.
